I am trying to create a GMB profile for my contractor. Soon as AI create the profile it gets suspended for "deceptive content". Deceptive Content is usually fake reviews ect. But he has nothing like that.

Can someone give some advise how they are getting GMB's created for their clients?

Yeah, GMB (now GBP) suspensions right after creation are super common now Google’s AI flags hard even on clean profiles.

Here’s what helps:
Use a real address, not a PO box or virtual office.
Make sure name, phone, and website match across other citations (NAP consistency).
Upload geo-tagged photos (office, tools, vehicle with branding, etc.)
Fill out all fields , services, hours, etc. before going live.
Avoid using keywords in the business name unless it’s registered that way.
Also, try verifying via video method show street sign, entrance, workspace, tools, etc.

If it still gets suspended, file a reinstatement with detailed proof (utility bill, license, legit website).

Some people also warm up the GMB profile in drafts, add photos slowly before publishing. Works better lately.

You know nothing about gmb.
To answer to op. No one will explain you how to verify for free.
 
Google Business Profile suspensions for deceptive content can be tricky especially when you're sure everything is legitimate. Sometimes Google's algorithms are a bit overzealous. I'd suggest double-checking every detail of the profile. Ensure the business name address and phone number are consistent across all online platforms like his website Yelp and any other directories.
 
GMB suspensions for deceptive content can also trigger if the business name or address seems inconsistent or overlaps with known spam patterns. Make sure the NAP data is clean, no keyword stuffing, and use solid documentation when verifying.
 
Mate, no one will explain you how to verify GMB for free. But you can try these steps,
Make sure the business name, address, and phone (NAP) match real-world info, use original photos (not stock), and avoid keywords in the business name. Use a verified location and create the GMB from a clean IP/device. Suspension often triggers if Google senses mismatched or generic data.
 
Create the GMB manually using the client’s real details and phone, AI or fake info gets auto-suspended.
 
Make sure all info is real and matches official documents, use a real phone/address, and avoid AI-generated profiles—manual setup works best.
 
It is very uncertain for Google to exactly tell you about the issue in your GMB profile or your content. However, as you mentioned, you can stop using the AI images. Sometimes, Google wants original pictures to represent the business. When you use AI images, then Google bots may thought that you are trying to represent an imaginary business just to drive the traffic.
 
Make sure the listing info matches real-world details exactly, fake or AI-generated profiles get flagged instantly.
